Imagine you are the CEO of a large financial institution and your organization is losing approximately $1,000 per minute in revenue opportunities and employee productivity. Your organization has a complex IT infrastructure and must monitor several critical business systems utilizing CRM, network monitoring tools, and custom in-house solutions. You have a room fully staffed with numerous dispatchers to respond to every alert – whether it is from the help desk or there is an emergency that needs handled immediately. Yet your organization is still losing money in network downtime. Why? What is the solution?
In your organization, when an alert is received and it is not responding immediately, it jumps to the next operator. This process continues until the problem has been acknowledged. If an alert moves through 10 people before being acknowledged, that is one part of the slow alert response time. When the alert is finally recognized, it must be determined what system the alert is pertaining to, who manages the system, the best way to contact that person, and then make contact to address the problem. That is a lot of time when responding to an alert.
Even more time is lost when contacting the technician because each has requested to be notified by pager, email, telephone, or a collaboration of all three ways. This method can take approximately 30 minutes to simply notify and dispatch someone to fix the problem. You need a solution to minimize downtime and the financial liability affiliated with lost revenue and reduced employee productivity.
